    Today's pulls:

    CStorm Yellow
    Psylocke Blue icon_eek.gif
    MN Mags Blue

    Best pull I've had since the first day of the Simulator, when I pulled 2 Hulk Reds. Had complete junk pulls since then until today.

    Another update, another way to make the game more unplayable.

    The first couple of days, I always managed to at the very least open up the subevents.
    Now, I can't even open up the Sudan subsection.
    Why is it that Argentina is ridiculously low at level 23, while Sudan is ridiculously high at level 230 for me?
    Would it not make more sense to have some sort of compromise here, with say level 50 and 100 enemies, instead of 23 and 230?

    My highest level hero is level 50 and previously, I might have been able to limp through such a 230 battle with the aid of boosts (which we no longer have) barely by the skin of my teeth with only one hero left alive on extremely low health.
    I could deal with this as it was a one-off entry battle in terms of boost usage and I benefit by gaining the prospect of earning a few more points slumming around the lower end missions.
    Now I can't even do this.

    Stupid frakking scaling system.

    Way to make the game uplayable for the middle-class, devs. icon_rolleyes.gif

    ^ No idea how your Sudan is scaling to 230
    I have covers higher level than you (~80 max) yet my Sudan is around 80. I have placed top 5 for the hard event pass 2 times (not first time)
    ...
    I think missing the reset for the first round has given me a lot of leeway.
    In argentina:
    My argentina II has level 88 goons, my special char required missions are <90

    Overall I have 30134 points, 16th place currently.

    Any ideas why havn't I been hit by scaling so much? I've grinded a decent amount.
    Havn't done tanking.

    Yeah, the main entry mission map nodes for the one-off subevent unlocking.

    23 and 230. Utterly ludicrous.

    My Argentina I is level 27, all the rest are 230.
    Reading your situation and the levels you face just reinforces how ridiculous the scaling system is.

    Previously I had been able to play through the cycles of the lower end goon missions in the subevents and had placed in the top 50 for most of them.
    Now it seems I've hit the wall.

    Why has the game decided that I'm a top-tier player?
    I've never won any event ever.
    I don't have any maximum level heroes, and hardly any 3-star covers at all.
    I don't even own Classic Magneto or Grey Widow, and have only one cover for Spiderman and Hulk each, heroes I constantly read that all the top players use to good effect.
    I'm still in the process of building my 2-star heroes, not even close to the 3-star ballpark.

    I have placed top 50 in some events previously, through grinding and reasonable level enemies.
    So now I guess my punishment for being mediocre is being barred from playing and progressing any further.

    It just baffles me.

    Well I was top 5 in my easy bracket, despite being in first by several hundred with 20 seconds left. Probably issues compiled with completing matches and not having it count towards my points total.

    I will enjoy my hard earned red cap and red mag...not. Least there's the 50hp, psylocke pulling back the hp on that shield I used to get her yesterday,

    Top 5 is the highest reward bracket in the sub missions. The rewards don't tell whether you finished 1st, 5th or somewhere in between.

    So I was wondering if that 150k Punisher reward is achievable. I'm going pretty strong at the moment with 53k points. Since 3 days passed and we have 6 more to go i think we should be able to reach it with full clears. But i was also wondering if anyone noticed any change in points you can get for bracket? Or is it possible that the missions will be on rotation and we will get repeat with unlocked crystal mission ?

    Oh well. Could use a blue C storm, I think I want to respec her 5/5/3, I don't use the yellow ability much.

    I did that earlier today. I also fixed my M. Storm and IM35 builds hours too late to make the tournament a breeze. 7 versus 5 AP Mistress of the Elements. Opportunities lost.

    Yeah I'm sitting on a 5/4/4 M Storm which I'm changing to a 5/5/3. Her black sucks.

    Are we supposed to be getting assault team tokens for placing top 10 in these? Because I have done that and they gave me standard 2*s. When I go to my recruit pages these tokens go into the old standard recruit bin and I get more 1*s I don't particularly want. I sent d3p mobile an email, they looked into it and sent me 3 more of these standard 2* tokens which degenerated into 1*s on my recruit page again.

    Sure would like access to those +1 blue/purple boosts.

    I would be willing to pay ISO if only I had the option.

    Somehow I managed to do full clear on 230 level without it and then on last mission i get this boost.... ahh the rage. But it showed me that it is possible even if i skip this boost. Just need to be way way more careful. Also use MN Magneto for blue generation.

    I really hate competing for position against people that are not facing the same difficulty. Fights are a serious grind, a complete pain in the **** and the guy in #1 has a roster maxed out at level 50 while I fight jugs that have almost 20K hp and that can nearly 1 shot my boosted Punisher level 141 punisher.

    It sucks balls hey.

    It would be far less rude if these people got put in their own brackets with each other, but instead they're sat at the top of mine, laughing their single-starred **** off.

    My highest level character is Patch at 115, next is Hulk at 90, Rags at 90, then OBW at 85. Everyone else is 65 or under. But I'm still facing legions of 200+ mutants and DAs.

    If this game didn't have the Marvel brand attached to it I'd have given up a LONG time ago. Damn my comic geek OCDness.

    The Sudan missions are so hard for me even though the Dark Avengers are 170++.

    What characters to use for these two missions - Moonstone/Ares/Juggernaut and Moonstone/Venom/Bullseye?

    I used boosts but either get Sundered by Ares or Headbutted by Juggernaut, while the other one keep on giving me bad boards and I can't make enough matches before being taken down by Moonstone. I used boosts but still not good enough. How I missed the rainbow +3AP boosts!

    Can't even beat one level 230 goon missions without a countdown tile going off and it one-shoting my entire team. Think this is where I get off of this game.

    It really really really really was fun when it didn't get nerfed into oblivion (first thorverine, then scaling, now the boosts....spidey down the road)

    Think I'm just going to install the Steam version and get a trainer and cheat my guys all the way up to level 141/230 just to experience the story...no point in playing with it the way the game is now.

    Yeah, if the level of difficulty with my current roster continues I might join in as well.

    Wow. Already got blown away twice by 230 juggs. I never built OBW up so she's only lvl 30 so if spidey gets killed, its game over for me. Some bad boards but its just painful trying to take out nearly 20k for just juggs.

    I haven't had a chance to update the game and try these missions yet (the game decided to crash upon entering a mission after I'd hit skip the update 5 or 6 times, and I decided not to bother after that, and not downloading a 150mb update without wifi) but this sounds like I'm going to have to finally break out Spidey and Venom. Too bad, so far even the high level combinations haven't been so bad I felt the need to go "cheap" instead of just plugging away with the boosted heroes, but 20k hp is way too annoying to grind through without Devour. Even though I just got my 5th red punisher from one of the Assault Team tokens or whatever they're called.

    The complaining about the imbalance totally misses where the real imbalance is. You're looking at your roster of level 141 and says level 230 guys are too hard. This is probably true. But the guys with level 50 roster is probably looking at level 100 enemies that are roughly as hard, except Psylocke has about 100 levels added to her level due to being major boosted. Therefore, your level 18 Psylocke is equivalent of level 118, which isn't helping too much against the level 230s (it'd be a different story if she was say, level 141). However, a new guy with a level 15 Psylocke has a level 115 body to throw against level 100 guys, and that's where the imbalance is.

    The problem is that when a major boosted charater is someone who is likely to be extremely low level, having a level 15 major boosted character is a huge advantage against level 100 guys, while Psylocke still isn't too good against level 230s. If The Punisher is the major boosted character instead, you wouldn't have too much problem because he'd be sitting at like 7K HP and doing a total of 500 strike tile in Judgment if he's at level 141, and then it'd be fine.
